Hello Community,
I am new to developing add-ons for Firefox. Recently, I needed an add-on that could reload specific websites at regular intervals. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find an existing solution that met my needs, so I decided to create one for personal use.
The add-on I developed is simple and minimal in functionality. It allows users to:
• Input a website URL using a regex pattern.
• Specify an interval time in seconds.
• Start a countdown timer that reloads the specified site(s) when the interval elapses.
After successfully developing and testing the add-on, I thought it might be helpful for others, so I decided to publish it. However, after several days, Mozilla reviewed my submission manually and permanently disabled my add-on worldwide, citing that it was considered spam.
I’m unsure why my add-on was categorized as spam since it only provides basic functionality as described above. I’ve shared the code here.
If anyone has insights into why my add-on might have been flagged or what changes I could make to comply with Mozilla’s policies, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.
Thank you very much for your help!
